Our Role
Lead architect for full design and planning stages. We developed the site strategy, architectural design, and planning submission to deliver a detached facility that complements the original nursery and meets early years standards.
Challenge
Delivering a detached, single-storey nursery building adjacent to the existing Apple Tree Nursery on Halifax Road, Rochdale, achieving architectural consistency while meeting space standards for early years education.
Approach
We designed a new standalone building that mirrors the scale, proportions, and visual language of the original nursery. Located on the same site, the detached structure maintains a strong design relationship with the existing facility through carefully aligned rooflines, matching materials, and coordinated elevations.
Solution
The new building enhances the overall functionality and capacity of the site, creating additional learning space while preserving the nursery’s established identity. The result is a coherent and unified setting that meets the needs of children, educators, and regulatory bodies; showcasing our expertise in educational architecture and sensitive site development.
